We just realized the moniker portrait artist, Relish, never draws any woman. Wonder why that is? The artist recently uploaded a bunch of recent drawings of various male characters, all in black and white.

The graffiti writer that goes by the name, Oclock, whose name has been associated with the Paris streets for a long time, switched his approach up entirely with this new billboard. “Show Me You Boobs” spelled out with a pair of eyes set to a spiraling background can be seen painted by the Parisian artist.

Remed is a multifaceted artist from Madrid, whose work we have highlighted several times here and has been featured in a lengthy interview in print (August 2012 printed issue).

This piece was painted in the informal township of Khayelitsha, located in Western Cape Town, South Africa.

Approved by a rainbow! Over the last week, a number of walls in Hawaii have been rejuvenated with new layers of paint from artists around the globe participating in the Pow Wow event. A colorful collaboration wall between California-based artist, Madsteez, and London-based graffiti artist, Roids, turned out nicely and this photo opportunity with a rainbow in the background makes for a great final touch.

Various designed posters from Brooklyn artist, Bast, have been popping up in different neighborhoods of New York. Many of these new pieces are highly abstract and display a series of new unique imagery from the artist. Most common are the manipulated faces which we favor most!

In part of the Pow Wow event in Hawaii, New Zealand-based artist, Askew, painted this large portrait of Tame Ito; a controversial character known for his activism in support of the ingenious people of New Zealand. He has also had a handful of legal issues with the law, including doing some significant time due to weapon charges.

We have been lucky over the past few years to catch NYC-based How Nosm painting murals around the world, most recently in Norway for Nuart this past Fall. The duo was just in our hometown this past week, San Francisco, to paint a fantastic multi-portioned mural in the Tenderloin district of the city. The wall was made possible in conjunction with Rogue Projects and White Walls, with paint by Montana.
